In the July issue of Plants & Planets Rosie Finn reminds us that mind and spirit are separate, and yet, we can have a body-mind-spirit connection.
She continues, "In some esoteric theory, it is believed that the highest state of being is the Sun and then out through the planets one by one....first there is light (the Sun), then there is the word/thought (Mercury). Then there is the heart/feelings (Venus). Then there is the body (Earth). So Mercury is thought and the use of thought as the first expression of spirit."
As mercury goes retrograde (typically a time of mis-communication, technical difficulties, etc.) Rosie encourages us to use our perception to change both the past and the future. "Just as the past is only in our minds as a series of thoughts and perceptions, the future too is only in our minds as a series of possibilities. If increasing our ability to perceive allows us to rewrite the past, it allows us to open to greater possibilities in the future. And all of this happens in this moment."
For me, there is no greater way to keep my mind-body-heart connected, spinning around a core of light, re-creating and creating my perception and therefore my past, future and present moment....than to dance :)
